SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS is the untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, remarkable composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today.

“CHEESE” is a series of public programs featuring screenings and talks launched alongside the TECHNO WORLDS exhibition. In 1996, Michael, a student from Switzerland, and Will from the UK formed a collective called “CHEESE,” which helped ignite the early development of domestic rave culture in China. During the exhibition, we will screen several documentary films presented as part of the show and invite guests connected to these scenes to share ideas and engage in dialogue.

SUNK is a pioneering electronic music producer and DJ from China. Following the release of her debut album, she garnered significant attention from domestic and international media, including the European culture channel ARTE, France Télévisions, Cosmopolitan, and AR. Known for her exceptional production skills and a unique "Chinese Techno" sound system that fuses martial arts aesthetics, she has rapidly risen within the international electronic music scene. She has performed and delivered public speeches at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), making her one of the few Chinese musicians formally recognized as both a producer and live artist on such a top-tier global industry platform.

In 2025, SUNK is embarking on a European tour featuring stops at the Ravekjavík Festival in Poland, the NYOKOBOP Festival in Paris, Le Sucre in Lyon, the Fête de la Musique in Marseille, as well as HÖR Berlin and the HÖR China Tour Beijing Stop. Whether performing at festivals, clubs, or art spaces, SUNK uses precision production and emotional energy to "precisely lock in the live atmosphere," creating a distinct sonic world. Her work is renowned for its intricate synthesizer design, cinematic soundscapes, and rigorous rhythmic structures.

SUNK not only independently handles composition, arrangement, sound design, and mixing but also transforms these elements into high-tension performances that blend Live sets with DJing. She notably performed her original album live on the Li River in Guilin, collaborating with singer Zhe Lai Nü and musician Guo Yike to construct an immersive stage narrative rich in Chinese imagery. Additionally, she collaborates with pianist and composer Xiao Ying in the neo-classical electronic band "Echolink."
